You arrive at a viewpoint as the late-afternoon sun edges the stone of the Alhambra; the fortress sits like a lived-in memory against the Sierra Nevada, its orchards and cypress groves breathing cool air into the city. The tour opens with a scenic bus ride that threads through Granada’s layered neighborhoods, then moves into guided walks where cobbled lanes and whitewashed façades direct your attention to details—archways, tiles, and the river that has carved the Darro gorge below.
